With Black History Month around the corner, I wanted to let my historically black college and university (HBCU) readers know about a fabulous contest. Alltel Wireless has asked bloggers to help spread the word about their “Words of Wisdom” contest where ten students will have the chance to receive a $10,000 scholarship to a participating black college or university by writing an essay.
Plus, all 10 winners will be honored at an awards luncheon to be held Thursday, March 12th, 2009 in Little Rock, Arkansas. “Words of Wisdom” spokesperson and esteemed poet and author, Dr. Maya Angelou, will personally present each winner with their scholarship. Click here for more information.
In these tough economic times scholarships are more important than ever.
Speaking of “Words of Wisdom,” when it comes to beauty and fashion, it’s always fun to play around with fads and trends, but being yourself is always in style!
What words of wisdom do you live by? Please share! Are you an HBCU alum or current student?

My words of wisdown are “It’s never too late to be who you could have been” “The only reason that dreams don’t come true is because of fear of failure”
BGG, I have tons of wisdom being the vet that I am but if I had to select my favorites it would be these two….enjoy your life to the fullest, it will be over sooner than you think AND always look for ways to show love! I am not a HBCU graduate but my daughter graduated from Bethune Cookman University WITH honors! Holla!
What a wonderful opportunity. Words I live by, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”
I came across this quote just the other day. “Never allow someone to be your Priority, While allowing yourself to be their Option”.

Don’t be rule by fear, because fear is the mind killer.
And always follow your heart dreams even if you think is too late.
I’m not an HBCU alum, but my baby brother’s at FAMU right now.
Some of my favorite Words of wisdom:
– This too shall pass

@ BGG, it’s probably because I kicked it so hard at their homecoming.
Note: T will kick it, no matter what the occasion. My homecoming, other folkses homecomings, inauguration, graduations, Tuesday… I just like to party.
LOL!
Everything happens for a reason.
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Be yourself
Make YOU happy

My dad always shared these words of wisdom with me “Education is the process of learning through experience even unto death.” He always stressed the importance of learning and taking everything we do as a learning opportunity. These are words that I live by.
I just happened upon this blog and will add it to my favorites!
Words of Wisdom I live by:
“I have no regrets; just lessons learned. I don’t regret anything because at one point it was something I wanted and something that made me happy”
